RISDiurnal Variability of Regional Cloud and Clear-Sky Radiative Parameters Derived from GOES Data. Part II: November 1978 Cloud Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Regional (250 ? 250 km2) diurnal cloud variability is examined using mean hourly cloud amounts derived from November 1978 GOES-East visible and infrared data with a hybrid bispectral threshold technique. A wide variety of ...
Diurnal Variability of Regional Cloud and Clear-Sky Radiative Parameters Derived from GOES Data. Part I: Analysis Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A hybrid bispectral threshold method (HBTM) is developed for hourly regional cloud and radiative parameters from geostationary satellite visible and infrared radiance data. The quantities derived with the HBTM include ...
Diurnal Variability of Regional Cloud and Clear-Sky Radiative Parameters Derived from GOES Data. Part III: November 1978 Radiative Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal variability of the radiation emitted and reflected from the earth-atmosphere is investigated at the regional scale using November 1978 GOES-East visible and infrared data and GOES-derived cloud information. ...
The 27–28 October 1986 FIRE IFO Cirrus Case Study: Cloud Parameter Fields Derived from Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A methodology for estimating cirrus cloud amounts and altitudes using visible and infrared satellite data was developed and tested using FIRE Cirrus Intensive Field Observation (IFO) coincident lidar and satellite data ...
Examination of the Relationship between Outgoing Infrared Window and Total Longwave Fluxes Using Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between narrowband and broadband thermal radiances is explored to determine the accuracy of outgoing longwave radiation derived from narrowband data. Infrared window (10.2?12.2 ?m) data from the Geostationary ...
Mission to Planet Earth: Role of Clouds and Radiation in Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of clouds in modifying the earth's radiation balance is well recognized as a key uncertainty in predicting any potential future climate change. This statement is true whether the climate change of interest is ...
On the Determination of the Optimal Scan Mode Sequence for the TRMM CERES Instrument
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) is a NASA spaceborne measurement program for monitoring the radiation environment of the earth?atmosphere system. The first CERES instrument is scheduled to be launched ...
Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES): An Earth Observing System Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) is an investigation to examine the role of cloud/radiation feedback in the Earth's climate system. The CERES broadband scanning radiometers are an improved version of ...
First Estimates of the Diurnal Variation of Longwave Radiation from the Multiple-Satellite Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: First results for diurnal cycles derived from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) are presented for the combined Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) and NOAA-9 spacecraft for April 1985. Regional scale longwave ...
